I guess each country might have its own laws about this. Many countries have agreements (I forgot the term for this) where they would send each other’s wanted criminals back so they can be tried where they committed the crime.

Just yesterday I joined a Discord server and one of the rules is:

II. There Will Be No Tolerance For Intolerance

SKG enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards hate speech or discriminatory behavior based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Any use of slurs or language intended to demean or dehumanize an individual or group is prohibited. Violation of this rule may result in immediate removal from the server.

I thought “no tolerance for intolerance” is kinda funny, especially when phrased that way, but obviously I think the policy is good. Just an amusing little oxymoron.

Sorry for going 100% off topic but since it came up, please everyone in the European Union go and sign the Stop Killing Games initiative: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ the deadline is coming up and the goal is to reach at least 1,500,000 signatures! It’s looking like it’s doable, every signature counts!

I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.

I can’t comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I’m serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.

Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn’t that what everybody does?

I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

What do you mean? It’s a massive mainstream operating system used by the majority of phones in the world.

whatever Android has a healthy update life guarantee and easily unlockable bootloader.

The Fairphone is really looking sweet. I’m fairly sure my next phone will be a fairphone if it’s at all feasible for me, but I expect my current phone to last at least a few more years.

Because it’s strong and powerful but it’s hard to keep from crashing?

(I’ve never used Arch, and really have no idea how true that is)

There’s a line somewhere between “computers that teach you not to do that” and computers that prevent dire consequences when you make a human mistake. The “just don’t do that” policy is never enough. If there are no safeguards, at one point the mistake will be made.

Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren’t designed to annoy you, they’re designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.

But I can see why you’d want the power button to be a “stronger signal” than clicking Shut Down in some menu.

As a user, why should I care whether the distro I use uses systemd? I use Mint and I don’t remember having to interact with that kind of low-level nonsense. The distro maintainers can use whatever reasoning they want to pick these details.

there’s a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades

Neither. Internal politics in Israel threatened to break up the government, and starting a war with Iran was the easiest way to stop that. Can’t break up the government now, we’re in a state of emergency!

Bibi would sooner burn down all of Israel than step down from power.

Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint’s driver manager didn’t seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia… Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don’t need to install them at all. Nice.

I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn’t really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn’t use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.

<3 Mint and Linux

Honestly, I think it’s premature - Organic Maps isn’t down the drain yet. But I’m also not 100% up to date. You can see most of the context here and in the open letter linked within: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/organic-maps-open-letter/128851

There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it’s just a direct observation.

Every part of that is fine except not including the cable with the product. But I don’t think I ever got a new product with a USB-B connector that didn’t come with the cable.
